I had someone make and edit for me and I was down voted a whole bunch and people did not like it. I re-did it editing it myself trimming the clips and all that. What do you guys recommend for music/ fonts/ length?

+K for helpful tips.

1. Really? Sail?
2. No one wants to watch a gopro edit of a kid straight-airing jumps and 50-50ing boxes
3. See #2
4. See #2

It wasn't just the editing that made it bad. There just wasn't really anything good about it. I'm sure you had fun, but it wasn't worth making a video.

You're being way too vague. The field is way more in depth than anything anyone could explain in that broad of terms.

Finding good music is one of the toughest parts about editing. Try to find a song you like that hasn't been used in a lot of edits or in a movie before. Sounds obvious, but it's pretty simple. There's now secret trick that lets you find bangin ski songs.

You should try to make the edit the full length of the song. If there aren't enough shots, just wait then make a full edit once you have enough.

Use any font you want as long as it's not the preset ones on imovie. Those are just gaper AF.
